a lot of you strafe the SAME direction while firing, EVERY fight. it can get quite predictable.

wait so you come thinking "ooh this is LC so hes gonna strafe left" "yephe sure did i killed him look at me im fatty wootwootwoot"
thats amazing, never thought of that
Generally speaking it's bad practise to run towards any aliens. You'd be far better off circle strafing around the skulk and simply killing him. Your idea though is certainly more entertaining and might well be more enjoyable if you're not so worried about getting the kill.

Yeah, it usually doesn't work. If the skulk is just running straight at you, however, this can be pulled off. It's even better when the skulk bites your feet so you fly way up. It's mainly for entertainment, not victory.
Oh, and a problem with trying to knife a skulk from the top is that they can easily bite you on the feet, sending you way up. If you have bullets left, you can shoot them, but you're usually screwed otherwise.
From the amount of people saying you only need to spray in the general direction of something with a HMG, it tells a lot about why HA trains die to skulks so much.

lol agreed. If you think spraying is the answer to any weapon, then it explains why a lot of people are amazed at other people that actually aim. You don't spray with any weapon, they all have a cone of fire. Put the crosshair on or near the alien and track it as best you can. With a HMG you can kill at least 10-15 skulks per clip if you bother to aim with it.

I strafe away from the wall, which 9 times out of 10 is left, since I ussually like to wallwalk the right side wall for some reason. you try to predict my strafe and I can't guarentee that I won't glidejump the opposite way on you though.
Sometimes I find a good way to avoid "some" skulks is treat it like a matador treats a bull. As it comes at you jump sideways and turn at the last minute. Means you can continue pumping bullets into it and confuses the skulk slightly.
Plus I tend to shout in my head "olee" as I do it :)

OMG! I HATE it when people do this to me! Here I am trying to have dinner of marine and he keeps jumping around and I just can't seem to track him as his buddy takes careful aim and puts a damn pistol round through my ass...

GL- ACtually, I think ff is an abuse for this gun. with it, you can stand behind a group of heavies shooting a fade or an onos, and then put ONE grenade into them and voila! the skulks climbing all over their faceplates are now goo!

If you EVER do this to me, you best be on my back with a welder.
